Great album of a singer who just never goes out of style.

"A couple of years ago I got my first listen of the SACD format in a store. I thought it sounded great, but at the same time not all that of a jump in quality. However, after buying a SACD player to replace a CD player that blew up I wondered what would be my first SACD purchase. I got Midnight love because it is one of my favorite albums. Marvin Gaye was at the height of his genius when he made this album. Also, I always loved the many layers in each and every song. I still haven't heard an album since that has so many layers. I thought I knew these songs, backwards and forward. But, the SACD format taught me different. When I popped Midnight Love into the player I went nuts. I heard things that were only hinted at in the regular CD release. Each and every note was crystal clear. Music that was overwhelmed by the other layers suddenly came out to the forefront. It was like I was sitting in the studio while Marvin sang the songs. Man! My jaw dropped, and I marveled at the sound coming out of my speakers. It was like the first time I heard the album. If you have an SACD player, this is definitely an album that you have to buy. I hope that Sony comes out with more albums to support the format. It is great, and so is Marvin Gaye's Midnight Love. - Eric Gomez, Sherman Oaks, CA"
